Arizona House Members Endorse Tobin

Tobin’s fellow legislators at the State Capitol show an outpouring of support for his campaign today, citing his integrity, honesty and battle-tested conservative values.

“Throughout my legislative career I have always respected Andy Tobin as a fair, thoughtful and diligent legislator,” said Arizona State Representative Tom Forese. “Together, we cut taxes in Arizona, cut state spending, fought for secure borders, fought to protect life, fought to protect 2nd amendment rights and fought against ObamaCare. It is for these reasons, and many more, that I endorse Andy Tobin for Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to stand behind Tobin as he takes on the challenge of restoring Arizona to its conservative values.”

“As Speaker Tobin’s seat mate for the past four years, I have seen first-hand how much Andy cares about and advocates for the people he represents,” said State Rep. Karen Fann. “Andy has been tirelessly fighting for conservative values in Arizona for years. Whether he’s fighting against federal government overreach and ObamaCare or fighting for the unborn and our 2nd Amendment rights, Andy Tobin never wavers in his conservative values. Arizona’s 1st Congressional District needs a conservative fighter like Andy to represent their voice in Washington. Tobin is the right candidate at the right time for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District.”

“I support Andy Tobin for Congress,” said State Rep. Debbie Lesko. “Andy has always been a no-nonsense conservative legislator at the State Capitol. He has a solid track record of fighting for the people of Arizona and especially for the interests of rural Arizona. I encourage anyone who believes in limited government, individual freedoms and 2nd Amendment rights to support Andy Tobin.”

“Andy Tobin has always put the people he represents before his own interests,” said Arizona State Representative Paul Boyer. “His integrity, honesty and steadfastness is unmatched in the legislature. There is no question in my mind that Tobin will represent Congressional District One in Arizona with the same zeal he has shown as Speaker. I am proud to endorse Andy Tobin for Congress. I would encourage everyone to support his campaign and join his team.”

“Andy Tobin is a fair, honest and effective conservative representative for the people he represents,” said Arizona State Rep. Borrelli. “His record of fighting against ObamaCare, protecting life, securing our borders and protecting 2nd Amendment rights is exactly what Arizonans need in Washington. I am proud to endorse Andy Tobin for United States Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District.”

Andy Tobin Calls on Gary Kiehne to Exit CD-1 Race

Andy Tobin released the following statement today in response to comments by Gary Kiehne about Vietnamese-Americans and mass shootings:

“With his pattern of bizarre and deeply offensive remarks, Gary Kiehne has illustrated that he lacks the temperament, character and basic common sense to not only represent Arizona in Congress, but to even get elected. He should exit this race immediately and apologize in full for all of his remarks, not just some of them. To win this district and win against the Democrats in Washington, we need a candidate with a level head – which Mr. Kiehne clearly doesn’t have based on his numerous comments. This is a pattern, and Mr. Kiehne’s own partial apology is acknowledgment of the toxicity of these comments. Suggesting that mass killings are party affiliated is beyond the pale and insulting to the families and victims of these senseless killings. All of this raises the question: What other incendiary remarks has Mr. Kiehne made on tape that Democrats are waiting to release if he’s the nominee?”

“I have every confidence that Republican voters will reject such an offensive candidate. But, if he somehow wins the nomination, Mr. Kiehne will not only ensure Ann Kirkpatrick’s re-election, but he will be an anchor around the neck of every other Republican candidate in the state, from Governor on down.”

Speaker Andy Tobin has a long-record of defending the Second Amendment and fighting for border security. He has an A+ rating from the NRA and helped pass SB1070.

Arizona Fire District Association Endorses Tobin

“Andy has always fought for conservative solutions to rural issues.”

First responder support for Andy Tobin’s congressional run continues to flood in from all over Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. Today, the Arizona Fire District Association (AFDA), representing 125 fire districts in Arizona announces its support for Tobin.

“In the 25 years I have known Andy Tobin, he has proven himself to be a fierce, conservative advocate for Arizona’s first responders,” said AFDA Vice President Mary Dalton. “Most of the 125 fire districts that the AFDA represents are in rural Arizona. Andy has always fought for conservative solutions to rural issues. We believe he is the candidate for CD-01 whom we can trust to take rural Arizona solutions to Washington. That is why the AFDA Political Action Committee is endorsing Andy Tobin for United States Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District.”

“Fire fighters and all first responders in Arizona and around the country have always held a special place in my heart and in my work,” said Tobin. “Having the support of rural Arizona fire districts will play a key role in our grassroots efforts around the district. I sincerely thank Mary and the AFDA for their support. I look forward to meeting and working with all of our great Arizona first responders as we continue building support and visiting every corner of this great district.”

Navajo County Supervisor David Tenney Endorses Andy Tobin

Andy Tobin is the conservative that rural Arizona needs…

Navajo County support continues to rally behind Andy Tobin with Navajo County Supervisor David Tenney’s endorsement today. Tobin has long been a fierce advocate for rural community roads, fire safety, water rights and economic development.

“Andy Tobin is the conservative leader that rural Arizona needs to fight for our practical way of life,” said Navajo County Supervisor David Tenney. “I have spent a lot of time working with Andy to fight for the issues that we care about here in Navajo County, and he has been a champion that gets things done. He has played a key part in the fight to restore much of the money that cities, towns and counties lost from our state’s Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF). As a rural lawmaker he knows that those funds make all the difference to maintaining roads in Navajo County. Andy also understands that Arizona relies heavily on the ability of forest industries to have access to our forests to restore their health, create jobs, reduce threats to our communities, supply clean water, and improve recreation and tourism. He understands that to fuel the rural business of Arizona and to protect our communities from disastrous wildfires, the federal government must use taxpayer resources wisely, and accelerate the success of forest restoration that has taken place in Arizona during the last ten years. Andy has lived in and fought for Arizona since he brought his family here over 30 years ago. He knows rural Arizona, and that is why I endorse Andy Tobin for Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District.”

“Supervisor Tenney is a powerhouse conservative advocate for Navajo County,” said Tobin. “Communities from Kayenta and Holbrook to Show Low have been positively impacted by our relentless fight to restore HURF money. We need to get the EPA off the backs of rural communities who power our state and provide our water. I sincerely thank Supervisor Tenney for his support. Having him on my team will go a long way in Navajo County.”

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Endorses Andy Tobin for Congress

World’s Largest Business Federation Pledges Support for Tobin

Citing Tobin’s extensive and proven track record of advocating for Arizona’s business and economic development opportunities, The United States Chamber of Commerce announced their endorsement today for Andy Tobin’s campaign for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. The U.S. Chamber pledges the full support of Arizona’s business community as Tobin campaigns throughout the district.

“In today’s economy, it is critical that members of Congress provide strong support of free enterprise and leadership for policies that will return America to its full growth potential,” said U.S. Chamber National Political Director Rob Engstrom. “We’re proud to stand with Andy Tobin and his candidacy for Congress in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. Andy has a demonstrated record of promoting Arizona jobs, and in this race is the clear choice to lead on policies that will boost economic growth, create jobs and get our country back on track.”

“It is no surprise that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation’s leading voice for job creators, has endorsed Andy Tobin for Congress,” said U.S. Chamber of Commerce Public Affairs Committee Member Glenn Hamer. “Andy Tobin has been one of the most consequential Arizona legislators in a generation. Few can match his reputation for tax cuts, regulatory reform and tort reform, which have helped spur growth in our economy and made Arizona a much more competitive and attractive state for business. The U.S. Chamber’s endorsement is an acknowledgment of what we in Arizona have known for many years: Andy Tobin will fight tirelessly for jobs and a stronger economy.”

“The United States Chamber of Commerce is a key leader in our fight for economic development and job creation in Arizona,” said Tobin. “I am proud to say that we have made incredible strides to recover jobs, nurture a pro-business environment and attract international companies to Arizona in the past decade. But the work is not done. Having the support of Rob Engstrom, Glenn Hamer and the U.S. Chamber is a valuable resource in my fight to restore more Arizona jobs. When America’s businesses recover and thrive, our country as a whole will return to being an economic leader. I sincerely thank The United States Chamber of Commerce for endorsing my campaign. I look forward to taking proven Arizona solutions to Washington.”

“Andy Tobin is the battle-tested conservative that rural Arizona needs,” said Senator Jon Kyl. “In a time when strong, experienced, honest and straightforward candidates are hard to come by, Andy stands out. He has been successful in fighting for economic development opportunities, job creation and individual freedoms for Arizonans.”

Senator Kyl continues, “I’m confident Andy will be focused on the needs of Arizona, including our vital natural resources. He understands the relationship between good resource management and rural economic opportunity. Andy has been fighting to shield Arizona from the disastrous ObamaCare law since 2008, and he has fought to protect worker’s right to a secret ballot. He has proven to faithfully represent Arizona’s conservative values. Andy is a tireless worker and my choice for Congressional District One. I hope you will join me in doing all we can to send a fine Arizona conservative to Washington.”

“Senator Kyl and I go back a long way,” said Tobin. “His support for my campaign both energizes and humbles me. We both have a deep appreciation for how much work this type of undertaking requires. We have already logged thousands of miles traveling around the district and hundreds of hours on the phones seeking counsel from supporters, elected officials and grassroots activists. We’ve come a long way in Arizona. Now is the time that we must come together to send a proven conservative with a track record of advocating for Arizona to Washington. I believe that Senator Kyl’s endorsement goes a long way toward achieving our collective goal. I sincerely thank him for his support and confidence.”
